Yes, I know that is one of the generic titles that gets assigned after a certain number of posts. But, I really will tell you something tomorrow. I have been imbibing a bit, but a certain member of this forum really went above and beyond and made my day (scratch that, make it "made my month). I hope I can sleep tonight- waiting for a new shave experience thanks to him. I will post my results tomorrow. This place is unbelievable. :001_smile

Okay, I know I left people in suspense, but as you will see that is how I felt all night long. I got home from work around 11 PM. It was friday, so I was having some adult beverages and visiting B&B. The wife comes in and drops an envelop in my lap. I look at the senders name- ooh, the Benton Clay Vetiver PIF I won from Pozzska came in. I am a soap guy- I was juiced. I open the envelop, feel through the packing material, pull out a box containing a beautiful Semagogue brush. ***? It is beautiful. I have been wanting to replace the VDH brush but this is totally a surprise. I reach back in and pull out a black handled Super Speed. I about jumped out of my chair. I have been wanting a vintage and this thing is in GREAT shape. Reach back in and find the Benton Clay- very nice smell- I will be buying this soap soon.

So, I wanted so bad to run to the bathroom and shave but thought better of it (adult beverages and all). Morning didn't come soon enough. I put a Personna Med Prep with two shaves on it in, soak my new Semagogue, then whip up some DR Harris Arlington- didn't want to throw in too many different things at once. Results- excellent BBS shave, zero irritation. A big thanks to Pozzska- it was a rough week at work, and this PIF really made it all better. I hope one day I can be in the position to be this generous. Oh, and I will bring the soap into the mix tomorrow. Sunday is usually a non-shave day, but what the heck.

Do let us know how you like the Benton Clay.
I found the scent very pleasing.

Sounds like you're on a roll. Enjoy!

I will be using it tomorrow. I don't normally shave on Sunday, but this isn't a normal situation :001_smile
 
That is the thing I love most about this forum. A generous spirit and general willingness to help one another. How are you liking the Personnas?
 
That is fantastic. What a great read. Haven't won any PIF for the move to DE yet.... This is the best forum I have ever found hands down.
 
Sounds like a great shave!


But don't you know if you start a thread with that title you are supposed to not come back for a couple of months, and then when you do come back act like you never started a thread telling people you was going to tell the something and completely ignore any posts or pms asking about it?

So far, so good. Breaking open the second one tomorrow, I should be able to say more then. I did include one of them in a Feather and cream PIF I sent out to another member to spread the knowledge. I usually know by the second blade whether I like them or not, so if the second one is good they will go on my "to buy" list.
